Dreamweaver Users or Experts!
 

I am tryng to do some find/replace on dreamweave and for some maddening reason it wont let me access the view>code or code and design on the page I am editing.
WTF!!
Any ideas?
Thanks.

hmm ... quite strange. is it a straight up .html file?

did you try and

hit F10

or hit the button up top that toggles it, instead of selecting it from the menu

Hit F10, if not, sounds like you have a defective install. Try updating it.

are you able to view the code or code/design normally or have you always had this problem?

When that happends to me i just save it and reopen it....does the trick every time.

Goddamned Dreamweaver. Mine is giving me shit lately, refuses to pop a broweser window and show me what the design looks like (F12). It just sits there and does nothing...grrrr

Buy the full version and not a cracked version :)




j/k

So you can't get to split or code view?

My dreamweaver always screws up. I end up having to reinstall it every couple of years. And yes, its paid for. Good luck! :thumbsup

First of all reboot your computer.

for some reason mine just started using F11 instead of F12...F12 just hangs there, F11 pops open internet explorer

Thanks everyone, I've tried all those things you suggested but still no good.f10 gives me codeinspector but i need to find/replace.
It may be a defective install and it is a cracked copy :) but it was working ok before..Its kiling me.

once you VIEW html/source with f10

or the button that allows you to view source, click a few, or search for the view source button, it'll show up...once you get there

do a

cntrl F

or a

cntrl H

one of those will allow you do a find/replace, I use it all the time like a charm :)


:thumbsup


PS: if the f10 for code view isn't working for you

look for the button that shows a

<>

on it....thats' the view code button :)

Try reinstalling

Thanks for the tip.:thumbsup

Just when I was ready to reinstall the fucker, it starts to function properly.
So alls sweet.
Cheers.

it also happens when the wrong extension is added if no .htm .html it wont open.

that's when your cracked copy goes bye bye, time to upgrade.
